Thank you for contacting me .
This is a beautiful camper as you can see in the photos.The price is US $4,000.00 .I have a clear and clean title for it.
The keystone belonged to my son, who died in the earthquake in Ishinomaki,Japan (God needs to tell me why !) I'm still very traumatized about this...and I want to get rid
of it asap because the sight of it makes me think of him often and the pain is too great . Put yourself in my shoes and you'll do the same (selling your dead son's trailer,
no offense).
Right now i`m on a business trip so i had to leave the keystone at Perfect Cargo .
Perfect Cargo is an escrow company that will protect you since i`m not able to do a "face to face" transaction since i`m away .The trailer is in Yakima, Washington .You
can pick it up after you pay Perfect Cargo or pay another $300 and have it delivered to your address .The payment will have to be wired to Perfect Cargo's bank account
.Besides this, Perfect Cargo will include a 14 days return policy which means you can return the keystone at no additional cost and receive your money back .
Please let me know if you want to go ahead with this purchase . I`ll fill you in on the rest once you reply back ,
Cheerfully ,

You'd have to be a total moron to fall for that line of bull$hit....c'mon people........

The scammers are asking for payments using Western Union.
If a seller or company mentions payments using Western Union, MoneyGram they are a SCAM.
Only a sucker would follow these directions:

Royal Estate International - Payment Options: How to make payment via Money Transfer (Western Union Money Transfer)
Simply visit any Western Union Agent location. Western Union agents are located where you need them: in banks, post offices, pharmacies, retail stores, supermarkets,
railway stations, airports and other places, Most agent locations offer convenient hours and service on weekends. More than 290,000 agent locations make Western
Union the world's largest money transfer network.
Fill out a Western Union " To Send Money " form. We will send you a set of instructions on how to complete your payment to our Royal Mail Agent assigned to your
transaction.
Hand the Western Union agent your green form, your payment, plus a small transaction fee.
The agent will enter the information onto the computer.
The agent will give you a receipt with your Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN).
Once payment has been sent, simply reply to Royal Mail Customer Service or Royal Mail Payment Service and fill in the following info:
- The 10 digits Money Transfer control number (MTCN);
- Western Union Sender's Full Name;
- Exact amount and currency wired (without Western Union fee);
- Complete postal address;

The scammers even go so far as to post a bank account to throw off the intended victims:

Bank Name: The International Bank of Miami, N.A.
Address: 121 Alhambra Plaza, Coral Gables, Florida, 33134
United States Of America
ABA Routing #: 121000358
Swift Code: BOFAUS3N
Credit Account Name: Internet Royal Mail Services
Credit Account #: 01286498
That account data is fake, no such account exists and the account has been previously used for scam sites.
Why in hell would a UK based company like Royal Mail use an obscure bank account in Coral Gables?

Wenn Sie Informationen haben, kontaktieren Sie mich bitte:netscammers@gmail.com
Its difficult to determine who or where the scammers are actually located.....
The site is most likely going to be used for scams where applicants are asked to launder money or re-ship stolen items overseas.

These are Romanian scammers targeting victims in Italy.
The scammers are pretending to sell a HARLEY DAVIDSON XL 883 SPORTSTER

Here is text from the fraud site:

COMPLETE ESCROW AND SHIPPING SERVICE
(remember there is no such thing in real life as an escrow and shipping company)

Usually we take part at the selling process by offering our complete escrow and shipping services. We are not just a regular escrow service, we have the intrastructure to conduct authorized pre-buy inspection on all type of vehicles.
There are a few situations that we currently handle:
- the seller and the buyer have already agreed and discussed regarding the transaction and they want to use our escrow (with vehicle inspection) and shipping services; the funds are transferred to the escrow account but the seller will be paid at the end of the transaction;
- you are a seller/buyer and you want to sell/buy a vehicle; after analyzing your case we will present our offer; usually the transaction takes place like in the case above;
- there are cases (in which the offer is too good) when we buy a vehicle directly from the seller; in this case the seller is paid the same day.
HOW IT WORKS?
5 Easy Steps to a secure transaction

1
After you agree to terms the transaction is started and the vehicle is picked up from the seller.
2
We conduct a full pre-buy inspection of the vehicle at one of our partner services. Both buyer and seller are informed about the inspection result.
3
If the vehicle is accepted by the buyer, then the buyer must send funds to our company for depositing into the escrow account. Once funds are cleared we start the shipping process. We have our own shipping company so the delays are as minimum as possible. You will be able to track your shipping online using the tracking number provided to see the current status of the shipment.
4
The buyer receives the vehicle and he gives his final accept on the transaction. The buyer takes the vehicle and all necessary papers are completed.
Our company takes full responsibility for the inspection results so if the vehicle is not as it was described then you can refuse the transaction and get a refund of your money.
5
The funds from the escrow account are transferred to the seller. You will receive the amount transferred by the buyer from which we will deduct the tax for the services used during the transaction.

Oh! what a tangled web we weave When first we practise to deceive! Sir Walter Scott NEVER use instant payment services like Western Union or MoneyGram to buy items on the internet

Confident Attic Sale Bank Details

NOTE : You may be asked to send the payment to one of our Bank Accounts located outside your country due to the fact that we have a lot of transactions to process and our US Accounts are not always available. We are offering our service on eBay and Craigslist which are the largest marketplaces in the world and they have a lot of active transactions. This will not affect the transaction in any way, on the contrary, it will speed up the process because the payment is handled faster.

Wire transfers can be submitted with the help of your banking institution. Provide your bank with the information below to properly transfer your payment.

NOTE : Please be advised that for international wires, your bank may require and charge you for the use of an intermediary bank. Sometimes we are using international bank accounts that are opened in the countries that we are developed in . If you were asked to make an international transfer please tell to your banker to use "AS EXPRESS" option . It will cost you around US $50 but you can subtract it from the total amount you have to send us. We are asking this because generally the international bank transfers take several days untill the money will be transfered from an account to the other. Therefore the delivery will take longer.

NOTE : Please make sure your BANKER will include/use the IBAN# to complete the transfer. Using of IBAN# improves the efficiency and speed of international wire transfers. International wires that are processed without IBAN# could be refused, delayed, or assessed processing fees by the beneficiary's financial institution.
